He is the actual head of the most powerful family in Jibei, a remnant of the Eastern Qi ancestral lineage, a person who naturally has a reactionary attitude towards the Wei Dynasty because the top official career passed down from generation to generation was interrupted, and the largest group of criminals around Juye Ze.
leader.
This kind of person has done a lot of illegal things, but he has lived a good life until now.
But today, just when all knowledgeable people, including him, felt that his biggest enemy, the Wei Dynasty, was beginning to embark on the road of no return, he was covered in hair because of a mere case of stealing an imperial horse.
Start sweating.
The reason couldn't be simpler. If this is not a good thing, I am afraid that my family will be confiscated and my family will be exterminated.
Others, including Li Shu and Xiong Bonan, also clearly realized something, and then fell silent for a while.
To put it bluntly, at this time, even if you really rebelled, no one might care about you, because it was too chaotic, and there were too many people who automatically turned into rebels... With so many people running away, wouldn't it be enough to kill hundreds of people in public?
Is this a provocation? If you delay, continue to run away and become a rebel?
But after losing a few royal horses, the people in Jing'antai were under direct pressure from the top, and they needed to deliver. In addition, time was short, so even if the royal horses were not in the hands of your Xu family, it would still be very important.
You, the Xu family, may be responsible... Who makes you the number one criminal around Juye Ze?
No wonder Xu Dalang lost his composure.
"That's it." Zhang Xing saw that the other party had woken up and actually stopped talking about the matter. Instead, he continued to look at Li Shu. He seemed to be more interested in this unexpected person. "Mr. Li... come back."
Just showing off?"
Li Shu glanced at Xu Dalang who was sweating profusely, and then carefully looked at the soldier who was defeated on the river two years ago. He actually stood up and saluted solemnly again, and his tone was much more cautious:
"I'm ashamed. I fled in embarrassment at that time, and I've been living on the run for the past two years. I actually forgot Brother Zhang's name... I'm really ashamed."
"My name is Zhang Xing. I am a man who left my hometown. I came out from the North. I first went to serve as a soldier, but I encountered the Second Expedition to Dongyi. I sent my brother back home for burial that day, and then I went to Jing'an Terrace with Bai Xunjian. Now,
I work as a deputy general inspector in Fulongwei." Zhang Xing stood up and returned the greeting while introducing himself again. "It has been so long and we met so casually on the river. It's strange that I remember it...Mr. Li, let's all sit down."
"So that's how it is." Li Shu sat down again and sighed again. "It's only been two years since the army was defeated and the Fulong Guard deputy inspector was appointed. It seems that I, Li Shu, have underestimated the heroes of the world."
"Brother Zhang has done a great job in the past two years." Xiong Bonan glanced at Xu Dalang, who was still sweating. He was inexplicably panicked, but he just bit the bullet and imitated the other two to speak calmly. "Eastern Territory, Central Plains, Shanxi
There are heroes all over the country, and even in Hebei, who think of him... However, the most fundamental thing is Huaishang. Everyone is convinced by the heroes in Jianghuai. The huge Huaiyou Alliance was established by him, and he even killed someone with his own hands.
Yi's Ningdan Guest... Jiangdong seems to have an explanation, but I'm not sure."
Li Shu nodded repeatedly, and then his tone became more solemn, finally replying to the other party's question: "Actually, to be honest with Brother Zhang, with my identity, I am destined to rebel against Wei anytime and anywhere... When I came back at first, I really just wanted to
To avoid suspicion, but after landing in Bohai County, I saw that the people were afraid of the conquest and the people's livelihood was exhausted. When I arrived at Xu Dalang's place, I saw with my own eyes that even the troops under the control of the emperor could not stop fleeing, so naturally I had some thoughts in my heart..."
"Is there a plan?" Zhang Xing asked further.
"It's not true." Li Shu responded seriously. "Because I just wanted to wait until after the three conquests of Dongyi... I learned a lesson from Yang Shen's defeat, and I can't give people the excuse to echo Dongyi, especially now that I am
The background is embarrassing...actually, didn't Brother Zhang feel a little resentful towards me because of this that day?"
"The truth is correct, but one moment and another moment." Zhang Xing shook his head. "I think it's okay to be more anxious... What the common people fear most at this time is to die in the east Yilang... If someone can climb up and shout out at this time,
, openly shouting slogans, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people can be gathered in one fell swoop, and there are soldiers, armor and practitioners. When the time comes, we will stay in Juyeze for a while, then contact the heroes from all over, wait until the three expeditions are completely defeated, and take the opportunity to rise
It may not be impossible to conquer the prefectures and counties."
Xiong Bonan on the side had already stuttered and clenched his fists again and again, but Li Shu just nodded and did not directly express his position. Instead, he looked at Xu Dalang who finally sat back.
Zhang Xing smiled and looked at Xu Shiying: "What, Xu Dalang has thought clearly?"
"What else can we do?" Xu Shiying responded awkwardly. "Brother Zhang went to Fulongwei, maybe he can speak to the Jing'an Taiwan patrol team here?"
"If you can tell me, I won't come here." Brother Zhang responded calmly. "I will do it for you... Or to put it bluntly, Luo Fang from the first patrol team came out to investigate the case this time.
Xue Liang of the third patrol team was the adopted son of Cao Zhongcheng of Jing'an, and he had no dealings with Bai Changjian and me; and Zhang Changgong of the second patrol team was originally the replacement for Bai Changjian, and he did not
Easy to bribe... His father is one of the eight nobles left behind in Dongdu, and his grandfather is the old Master Zhang from the south slope of the river."
Xu Dalang's eyelids obviously twitched, but he still managed to maintain his composure: "So, we can only avoid it for a while?"
Zhang Xing sneered in response.
Xu Shiying was embarrassed for a moment.
Xiong Bonan, on the other hand, obviously didn't see the three riddles and couldn't help but ask: "Just to avoid it? Brother Zhang just said it so clearly... Taking this opportunity, let's enter Juye Ze together and fight
Mr. Li's banner comes, and with the help of your Xu Dalang's family and foundation, I will contact the heroes in the Central Plains of Hebei, and Brother Zhang will win over the defeated troops... won't it be done? Isn't this the opportunity we have been waiting for two or three years?
!”
Xu Shiying became increasingly embarrassed, and Li Shu also hesitated to speak.
"Brother Xiong, this matter is not that simple." Zhang Xing explained to Xiong Bonan. "Let me tell you... First of all, Mr. Li has his own ideas. He has learned Yang Shen's lesson. Not only is he unwilling to take advantage of the three
In the event of a conquest, I am afraid that I don’t want to be the first person to take the lead, so as to attract the attention of the Wei court, and have to fight against the elites of the Wei Dynasty. I even have to contact scholars in Hebei, the Central Plains, and the Eastern Border.
Maybe we can discuss it again...because the Wei soldiers are only afraid of crossing Luolongtan to conquer Dongyi, and internal counterinsurgency will not mean that they will still be strong in combat, and this worry is very reasonable."
Li Shu had no expression on his face and said nothing, but he still twirled his beard and glanced at Zhang Xing one more time.
"As for Xu Dalang, if he is younger, I won't be merciful... To put it bluntly, he has a strong mentality and is unwilling to give up his family wealth. Even with his intelligence and vision, he could see early that the Wei Dynasty was about to collapse and the world was about to be in chaos.
He knew in his heart that he should go out to gamble and start making troubles, but he still couldn't let go of these foundations... The cunning rabbit has three holes. I will leave later. He calmly cleaned up and led the crowd to Zhuangzi in another county to hide. The people in Jing'antai just wanted to
The imperial chariot is always moving forward, and if it cannot be traced for a while, it will naturally be replaced by other people around Ju Ye Ze." At this point, Zhang Xing took it back from Xiong Bonan who sighed,
He turned around and looked at Xu Shiying. "Xu Dalang, let me tell you, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss with this mentality."
Xu Shiying was extremely embarrassed and could only hand over her hand: "Ashamed."
"You really should be ashamed." Zhang Xing didn't show any dignity to the other party. "That's all. I, Zhang Sanlang, feel a little guilty when looking at people... When we were on the river, even though you were young, you were the most brilliant.
The Yingjie cannot be covered up inside, but now we meet again, up and down, inside and outside, he looks even more extraordinary... And now I am still saying what I said on the river, you must be a real dragon, and you must recognize your own abilities and talents.
, Troubled times are coming, only by breaking away from the barriers of this rich man can you soar into the sky. These things around you can be a stepping stone or a drag for people like you, but they must not be put before the horse and regarded as fundamental! "
Xu Shiying could only turn away... To be honest, with Xu Dalang's temper when he was young, whoever said this to him would probably have gone in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, but now he is older and gradually matures;
Secondly, the person in front of me, who I have only met twice, once said this when he was in dire straits. I can only say that he is telling the truth. He really thinks that Xu Dalang is a real dragon who is bound, and it is not a temporary mockery;
Then, after all, they are here to save lives. After this incident, unless King Xiongtian and this person can be silenced together, he will have to inherit their kindness for the rest of his life.
After Zhang Xing finished speaking, he smiled at Xiong Bonan again: "Brother Xiong...it would be hypocritical to only talk about the two of them if I don't talk about myself...Actually, I only met them once, so why would I follow them?"
The two of them went to Juye Zeluocao? You don't know, right? Because of Huairong's contribution to meeting you, I have now moved from the fifth rank, plus the support of the Bai family, to the state and county.
Being a county governor with real power is only one step away. Even if you want to do something, you can do it yourself. Why do you need to be the third and fourth boss for these two people? If you are willing then, come to me and let's try it together.
Something."
Xiong Bonan heard clearly and knew that three of the four people here had evil intentions. He was the only one who had no evil intentions, but he still couldn't help but retort: "Zhang Sanlang, why should you laugh at yourself... I think you are a true loyal person. That day
Huairong sent me out, and today he came to save the lives of Xu Dalang and his family..."
"That's what I mean." Zhang Xing stood up suddenly and answered frankly. "I came today just because Xu Dalang and I had a good relationship on the river that day. Regardless of whether we accepted it in the end, we would eventually return it, so it was just a personal relationship, just a personal relationship.
To save the lives of his whole family... As for him, a strong man from the Central Plains who bullies the weak, does he rebel? Does he have the courage? What is his future? What can he do to me, a farmer from the North? The world is in chaos and the roads are bloody. If he really has great ambitions
, I came to save the people of the world. There are so many people to save, so it’s not my turn to save a strong man like him first, right? Farewell!"
After saying that, he turned out directly.
Xiong Bonan got angry when he heard that, stamped his feet, and wanted to chase him out, but finally he came to his senses and turned back to look at the remaining two people: "If this Saburo is hit by someone from Jing'antai, it will inevitably be a problem.
I'll take him fifty or sixty miles away...you guys stay busy."
After saying that, he went out directly, leaving Xu Shiying and Li Shu where they were. They were stunned for a long time, and the people outside screamed, and they looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Who would have thought that another defeated soldier who met on the roadside at that time could be such a person?" Li Shu sighed for a moment. "I have been in Dongyi for two years and I have not seen many decent heroes."
Xu Dalang just covered his face and smiled, but felt sad for a moment.
On the other side, Zhang Xing borrowed a horse, leaving the yellow gelding vacant, and drove straight back to the military city.
And Xiong Bonan, the purple-faced king, has a arrogant temper. He feels that Zhang Xing is loyal and wants to repay his kindness that day, but it is difficult to say it in person. However, relying on Zixia's true energy, it is not too obvious at night, and he is far behind.
He was soaring low in the sky... but unexpectedly, he could not travel more than three or five miles when a golden light suddenly flashed from his side and behind him, forcing him to stop abruptly.
The two met each other, Xiong Bonan was surprised for a moment, then realized, and then carefully handed over his hand: "Is it Inspector Bai?"
"It's Chang Jian." Bai Yousi faced each other in the night. "I was afraid that Xu Dalang would do something wrong, so I came here with Deputy Zhang Jian... Thank you, King of Service, please come back!"
Xiong Bonan wanted to ask what the other party's relationship was with Zhang Sanlang, and why he looked down on Xu Dalang? Moreover, this power seemed to be a pill, and the progress was profound. How could it be so powerful?
But after all, I still felt that these words were a bit redundant and really unfamiliar, so I handed them over without embarrassment and turned around to go back.
As for Zhang Xing, he continued to gallop away. Along the way, he encountered several civilians and sergeants who fled at night. Fortunately, relying on his mastery of the two special meridians, he was able to avoid danger every time, not even the Golden Cone.
He moved, and then arrived outside the military city before the fourth watch, but he was not in a hurry to enter... Instead, he waited for a while until it got light, and the military city began to prepare breakfast. Taking advantage of another round of noise and chaos,
He calmly left Xu Dalang's horse behind, led the yellow gelding back into the military city, and entered the tent to rest.
Throughout the whole process, I was unaware of Bai Yousi's behavior and what happened behind him.
Qin Bao did not come to ask any unnecessary questions, but took the initiative to remind Zhang Xing when he got up to eat: "There were too many people fleeing last night, and even the Jinwu guards in front of the emperor escaped. Qian Tang noticed that the third brother was not there early, and he was going to eat right away.
I guess I’ll have to ask some time.”
Zhang Xing nodded, not taking it seriously.
After a while, Zhang Xing finished washing and went out to eat. As soon as the bowls were served, Qian Tang said, "Where did Zhang Sanlang go last night?"
"I went to chase a fugitive from the Jinwu Guard." Zhang Xing sipped his porridge and replied calmly. "That's a talented person. I always thought I could get along with him, but he also escaped... I wanted to persuade him."
I advised him to come back before others noticed him... In the end, we caught up with him, but he refused to come back. I didn't bother him, so I went back on my own... and then waited outside the military city until dawn before I could come in."
After Qian Tang heard this, he also sighed: "A talent that can be valued by you, Zhang Sanlang, must be really capable. Why did he escape?"
The surrounding Fulong Guards also sighed for a while.
But after a while, someone among them became uneasy: "Being the emperor, he was defeated three times. But among those who crossed Luolongtan, not even one out of ten escaped... Third brother, you are also here."
After escaping for the first time...are you not afraid?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaobaishou Wang Zhen took the lead in scolding. "We are Fulong Guards. We can't escape from the imperial front, and we don't have to actually fight..."
At that time, the man held his breath and lowered his head to eat the cake.
Wang Zhen, on the other hand, was a little uneasy, so he asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, people say you are a think tank, but tell me... can we really keep it safe? Can Fulongwei just keep it safe? Just before the emperor.
Is it safe?"
Zhang Xing wanted to scold him at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he was completely stunned... Yes, how could Yu Qian keep it safe?
I just came here two years ago, and I already know that this is not bullshit Sui and Tang Dynasties, so naturally it is not the Three Conquests of Korea, or it is just the Three Conquests of Korea. Isn't it quite reasonable to mix it up with the plot of a bullshit civil fort?
Isn’t it said that God’s will is unpredictable?
It's as if I haven't figured out yet whether the background of the script that Emperor Bai received from the so-called God's will was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty or Marquis Zhuge Wu.
At this thought, Zhang Sanlang was sweating profusely and could not answer.
The surrounding Fulongwei looked at each other in shock.
"What are you afraid of?!" At this moment, Qian Tang couldn't bear it. "Don't forget that there are Changjian and Fulongyin... Changjian is here and Fulongyin is here, plus we have a hundred
The ten masters of Qijing, even the Governor of Dongyi, dare to come, so how can they be our opponents? Can't they escape?!"
Everyone felt relieved for a moment.
Even Zhang Xing also realized that everything will be fine, old ladies, the Jinglong Sword is also in his hands, and the overall situation is not determined. Do you still have to worry about escaping?
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately drank down the ice porridge in his hand, and then said calmly: "Qian Heishou is right, everything has its own constant inspection. If you can't trust me, can't you still trust the Yitian Sword?"
When everyone heard Deputy Changjian Zhang speak, they were shocked and their morale was slightly boosted.
In this way, Zhang Xing didn't know how the Yuma case was concluded, because there was still an endless stream of people fleeing from the army, causing all kinds of chaos. What's interesting is that because of the existence of the military city, such escapes were almost obvious...
Even in mid-March, only two hundred miles away from Dengzhou, the small military city in Hebei could no longer be maintained and almost collapsed... The saint, the saint, never showed up again from this moment on.
Already.
Zhang Xing came to his senses a little and could only say that the old man Sima Changying still had two skills. He was simply an artist who controlled the mind of a certain saint.
After another six or seven days, the army finally arrived in Dengzhou. The Dengzhou camp was just around the corner. Qin Bao hurriedly took leave and went to pick up his mother and take refuge in the city. The generals from Youzhou, Hejian, Xuzhou and Jiangdu also gathered...
...What surprised people was that the troops brought by these four battalions unexpectedly maintained both quantity and quality.
Moreover, the main generals of the four major towns were all sincere in the main battle. From Li Cheng in Youzhou to Jiangdu, they all sincerely asked for battle. They even said that they could sweep away the Dongyi Five Kingdoms by only attacking from the north and the south and advancing by land and water.
Ten states.
This also revived the saint's spirit, and he felt that he could do it again.
As for Zhang Xing, at this time, he suddenly heard a folk song in the army:
Zhi Shilang in front of Yimeng Mountain, wearing a red brocade back crotch.
The long branches invade half of the sky, and the wheel-shaped knife shines brightly in the sun.
They go up the mountain to eat deer and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.
Suddenly, when I heard the troops were arriving, I raised my sword and swung forward.
For example, if you die while crossing a beach, what harm will you do if you behead your head?
Come, come, come, Wuxiang Dongyilang will die, and no one will bury him for ten years!
Yimeng Mountain is the mountain range between Xuzhou, Juyeze, and Dengzhou. It is also the largest mountain range in the east. In other words, it is two hundred miles behind the Dengzhou camp, on the road where civilians transport grain.
Someone reported this matter to the sage. The sage asked the three ministers in front of the emperor. Sima Xianggong and Yu Xianggong were silent. Zhang Hanxianggong came out and spoke calmly:
"This must have been done by Dongyi spies. The situation is so poor that we can only take this small path."
The saint nodded on the spot, no longer taking it seriously, and discussed the march with the generals.
It was late March. Li Ding, as the envoy of the capital city, stopped at the mouth of the river. Qin Baoze had already returned and was lined up with Zhang Xing, Bai Yousi, Qian Tang, Wang Zhen, Zhou Xingfan and other Fulong guards.
Within the main camp.
At the same time, the three ministers, Sima Changying, Yu Changji, and Zhang Han, as well as the generals of the Fourteenth Guards, including Lai Zhan'er, Zhou Xiaoming, Li Cheng, Luo Shu, and Luo Xin, were all present.
Luo Fang, Xue Liang, Zhang Changgong and other Jing'an Taiwan third patrol team were also there.
Others, such as King Cao Ming of Qi, Governor Niu of Beiya, several concubines, princesses and princes, are also there.
Not to mention this, when the superiors were talking about marching into the army, what made Zhang Xing concerned was that Sima Zheng also appeared - he arrived with a group of heavy supplies and was immediately named Huben Zhonglang General. This is
The theoretical supreme leader under the special responsibilities of Jinwu Guard.
Everyone realized that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
